Definitions

  • This invention relates to the use in oleaginous compositions such as fuel and lubricating oil compositions of an oil soluble dispersant additive and to such compositions including concentrates containing said additives, and methods for their manufacture and use.
  • the dispersant additives of the instant invention are comprised of the reaction products of (1) nitrogen or ester containing adduct and (2) polyepoxide.
  • Multigrade lubricating oils typically are identified by two numbers such as 10W30, 5W30 etc.
  • the first number in the multigrade designation is associated with a maximum low temperature (e.g.-20°C.) viscosity requirement for that multigrade oil as measured typically by a cold cranking simulator (CCS) under high shear, while the second number in the multigrade designation is associated with a minimum high temperature (e.g. 100°C) viscosity requirement.
  • CCS cold cranking simulator
  • a minimum high temperature e.g. 100°C viscosity requirement.
  • each particular multigrade oil must simultaneously meet both strict low and high temperature viscosity requirements in order to quality for a given multigrade designation.
  • Such requirements are set e.g., by ASTM specifications.
  • low temperature as used herein is meant temperatures of typically from about -30° to about -5°C.
  • high temperature as used herein is meant temperatures of typically at least about 100°C.
  • the minimum high temperature viscosity requirement e.g., at 100°C, is intended to prevent the oil from thinning out too much during engine operation which can lead to excessive wear and increased oil consumption.
  • the maximum low temperature viscosity requirement is intended to facilitate engine starting in cold weather and to ensure pumpability, i.e., the cold oil should readily flow or slump into the well for the oil pump, otherwise the engine can be damaged due to insufficient lubrication.
  • the formulator may use a single oil of desired viscosity or a blend of two lubricating oils of different viscosities, in conjunction with manipulating the identity and amount of additives that must be present to achieve the overall target properties of a particular multigrade oil including its viscosity requirements.
  • the natural viscosity characteristic of a lubricating oil is typically expressed by the neutral number of the oil (e.g. S15ON) with a higher neutral number being associated with a higher natural viscosity at a given temperature.
  • the formulator will find it desirable to blend oils of two different neutral numbers, and hence viscositites, to achieve an oil having a viscosity intermediate between the viscosity of the components of the oil blend.
  • the neutral number designation provides the formulator with a simple way to achieve a desired based oil of predictable viscosity.
  • merely blending oils of different viscosity characteristics does not enable the formulator to meet the low and high temperature viscosity requirements of multigrade oils.
  • the formulator s primary tool for achieving this goal is an additive conventionally referred to as a viscosity index improver (i.e., V.I. improver).
  • the V. I . improver is conventionally an oil-soluble long chain polymer.
  • the large size of these polymers enables them to significantly increase kinematic viscosities of base oils even at low concentrations.
  • solutions of high polymers are non-Newtonian they tend to give lower viscosities than expected in a high shear environment due to the alignment of the polymer. Consequently, V.I. improvers impact (i.e., increase) the low temperature (high shear) viscosities (i.e. CCS viscosity) of the base oil to a lesser extent than they do the high temperature (low shear) viscosities.
  • the aforesaid viscosity requirements for a multigrade oil can therefore be viewed as being increasingly antagonistic at increasingly higher levels of V.I. improver.
  • V.I. improver if a large quantity of V.I. improver is used in order to obtain high viscosity at high temperatures, the oil may now exceed the low temperature requirement.
  • the formulator may be able to readily meet the requirement for a lOW30 oil but not a 5W30 oil, with a particular ad-pack (additive package) and base oil. Under these circumstances the formulator may attempt to lower the viscosity of the base oil, such as by increasing the proportion of low viscosity oil in a blend, to compensate for the low temperature viscosity increase induced by the V.I.
  • dispersant additives can have on the viscosity characteristics of multigrade oils.
  • Dispersants are frequently present in quality oils such as multigrade oils, together with the V.I. improver.
  • the primary function of a dispersant is to maintain oil insolubles, resulting from oxidation during use, in suspension in the oil thus preventing sludge flocculation and precipitation. Consequently, the amount of dispersant employed is dictated and controlled by the effectiveness of the material for achieving its dispersant function.
  • a high quality 10W30 commercial oil might contain from two to four times as much dispersant as V.I. improver (as measured by the respective dispersant and V.I. improver active ingredients).
  • conventional dispersants can also increase the low and high temperature viscosity characteristics of a base oil simply by virtue of their polymeric nature.
  • the dispersant molecule is much smaller. Consequently, the dispersant is much less shear sensitive, thereby contributing more to the low temperature CCS viscosity (relative to its contribution to the high temperature viscosity of the base oil) than a V.I. improver.
  • the smaller dispersant molecule contributes much less to the high temperature viscosity of the base oil than the V.I. improver.
  • the magnitude of the low temperature viscosity increase induced by the dispersant can exceed the low temperature viscosity increase induced by the V.I.
  • dispersants are provided which have been found to possess inherent characteristics such that they contribute considerably less to low temperature viscosity increases than dispersants of the prior art while achieving similar high temperature viscosity increases. Moreover, as the concentration of dispersant in the base oil is increased, this beneficial low temperature viscosity effect becomes increasingly more pronounced relative to conventional dispersants. This advantage is especially significant for high quality heavy duty diesel oils which typically require high concentrations of dispersant additive. Furthermore, these improved viscosity properties facilitate the use of V.I.
  • the use of the materials according to this invention is thus an improvement over the use of conventional dispersants because of their effectiveness as dispersants coupled with enhanced low temperature viscometric properties. These materials are particularly useful with V.I. improvers in formulating multigrade oils.
  • US-A-4,234,435 describes carboxylic acylating agents derived from polyalkenes such as polybutenes and e.g. maleic or fumaric anhydride. These can be further reacted with e.g. polyethylene polyamines to form dispersant additives for lubricating oils and can be post-treated with various reagents including epoxides such as ethylene oxide or propylene oxide.
  • US-A-4,189,450 describes surface coating binders for cathodic electrocoating formed by reaction of Mannich bases with epoxy resins.
  • the Mannich bases are formed by reaction of polyhydroxy phenols with polybutadiene or polyisoprene or copolymers thereof and polyhydroxyamines. These highly reactive materials crosslink on heating to hard, solvent resistant coatings.
  • the present invention provides the use in an oleaginous composition of an oil soluble dispersant additive comprising the reaction products of:
  • the invention also provides oleaginous compositions including fully formulated fuel and lubricating oil compositions and concentrates comprising a major amount of the base oil and a minor amount of an oil soluble dispersant additive as defined above.
  • the dispersants used in accordance with the invention exhibit a high temperature to low temperature viscosity balance or ratio which is more favorable than that of conventional dispersant materials. That is to say the instant dispersant materials possess inherent characteristics such that they contribute less to low temperature viscosity increase than dispersants of the prior art while increasing the contribution to the high temperature viscosity increase. They also exhibit enhanced or improved dispersancy characteristics. This is believed to be due, inter alia, to the presence of hydroxyl groups formed as a result of the ring opening of the oxirane rings in their reaction with the reactive amino groups or hydroxyl groups of the nitrogen or ester containing adducts as described hereinafter.
  • the molecular weight of the product is increased by the coupling or linking of two or more molecules of the adduct by or through the polyepoxide moieties.

  • the products of the present invention can be added to small amounts of base oil or other compatible solvents along with other desirable additives to form additive-packages containing active ingredients in collective amounts of typically from about 2.5 to about 90%, and preferably from about 5 to about 75%, and most preferably from about 8 to about 50% by weight additives in the appropriate proportions with the remainder being base oil.
  • weight percents expressed herein are based on active ingredient (a.i.) content of the additive, and/or upon the total weight of any additive-package, or formulation which will be the sum of the a.i. weight of each additive plus the weight of total oil or diluent.

  • the resultant S150N oil solution of the dispersant has a viscosity at 100° C of 1015 centistokes (m2/s x 106).
  • the SIB test has been found, after a large number of evaluations, to be an excellent test for assessing the dispersing power of lubricating oil dispersant additives.
  • the medium chosen for the SIB test was a used crankcase mineral lubricating oil composition having an original viscosity of about 325 SUS (0.07 Pas) at 38°C that had been used in a taxicab that was driven generally for short trips only, thereby causing a buildup of a high concentration of sludge precursors.
  • the oil that was used contained only a refined base mineral lubricating oil, a viscosity index improver, a pour point depressant and zinc dialkyldithiophosphate anti-wear additive.
  • the oil contained no sludge dispersant. A quantity of such used oil was acquired by draining and refilling the taxicab crankcase at 1000-2000 mile intervals.
  • the SIB test is conducted in the following manner: the aforesaid used crankcase oil, which is milky brown in color, is freed of sludge by centrifuging for one hour at about 39,000 gravities (gs.)(3.8 x 105 m/s2). The resulting clear bright red supernatant oil is then decanted from the insoluble sludge particles thereby separated out. However, the supernatant oil still contains oil-soluble sludge precursors which on heating under the conditions employed by this test will tend to form additional oil-insoluble deposits of sludge.
  • the sludge inhibiting properties of the additives being tested are determined by adding to portions of the supernatant used oil, a small amount, such as 0.5, 1 or 2 weight percent, of the particular additive being tested. Ten grams of each blend being tested are placed in a stainless steel centrifuge tube and are heated at 135°C for 16 hours in the presence of air. Following the heating, the tube containing the oil being tested is cooled and then centrifuged for about 30 minutes at room temperature at about 39,000 gs (3.8 x 105 m/s2).
  • any deposits of new sludge that form in this step are separated from the oil by decanting the supernatant oil and then carefully washing the sludge deposits with 25 ml of heptane to remove all remaining oil from the sludge and further centrifuging.
  • the weight of the new solid sludge that has been formed in the test is determined by drying the residue and weighing it. The results are reported as amount of precipitated sludge in comparison with the precipitated sludge of a blank not containing any additional additive, which blank is normalized to a rating of 10. The less new sludge precipitated in the presence of the additive, the lower the SIB value and the more effective is the additive as a sludge dispersant. In other words, if the additive gives half as much precipitated sludge as the blank, then it would be rated 5.0 since the blank will be normalized to 10.
  • each test sample consisted of 10 grams of lubricating oil containing a small amount of the additive being tested.
  • the test oil to which the additive is admixed is of the same type as used in the above-described SIB test.
  • Each ten gram sample was heat soaked overnight at about 140° C and thereafter centrifuged to remove the sludge.
  • the supernatant fluid of each sample was subjected to heat cycling from about 150° C to room temperature over a period of 3.5 hours at a frequency of about 2 cycles per minute.
  • gas which was a mixture of about 0.7 volume percent SO2, 1.4 volume percent NO and balance air was bubbled through the test samples.
  • the wall surface of the test flasks in which the samples were contained are visually evaluated as to the varnish inhibition.
  • the amount of varnish imposed on the walls is rated to values of from 1 to 11 with the higher number being the greater amount of varnish, in comparison with a blank with no additive that was rated 11.
  • SIB test oil 10.00 grams were mixed with varying amounts of the products of the Examples as described in Tables I - II below and tested in the aforedescribed SIB and VIB tests.
  • the amounts of additives listed in Tables I - II are not the neat active ingredient but are solutions of the various polyisobutenyl succinic anhydride-polyamine adducts or dispersants of the instant invention in S150N mineral oil as described in the corresponding Examples.
  • the amount of the polyisobutenyl succinic anhydride-polyamine adduct of Example 1 added to the lubricating oil refers not to the neat polyisobutenyl succinic anhydride-polyamine adduct but to the S150N neutral mineral oil solution containing about 50 wt. % of polyisobutenyl succinic anhydride-polyamine adduct on an active ingredient basis.
  • Table I Additive Wt. % (gms) of Oil Solution of additive SIB VIB PIBSA-PAM adduct of Example 4 0.5 3.37 5 Dispersant of Example 4 0.5 1.68 3
  • oil solution of the comparative "PIBSA-PAM adduct of Example 5" contains about 50 wt. % of active ingredient, i.e., polyisobutenyl succinic anhydride-polyamine adduct
  • oil solutions of the dispersants i.e., the reaction product of a polyepoxide and the polyisobutenyl succinic anhydride-polyamine adduct, of Examples 5, 6 and 8 are about 25% more dilute because of the added mineral oil.
